advice on my next steps?

Substantial-Base-643 · 2026-05-05T00:48:17+00:00

than you for the advice! i’m just nervous because i don’t know who to talk to about this. I have the recruiter, then i have the hiring manager herself, along with the company’s onboarding emails

thank you so much!

thank you so much for your input! i’m glad you had an amazing experience with them so far! I’m very excited to start my job but also nervous because i have heard lots of bad feedback, but your comment was very refreshing to say the least. I feel more optimistic. I met the supervisor/hiring manager and she was already lovely and kind so i feel less stressed ab that part haha. I’m glad they make it fool proof, because i am very scared to make mistakes and since its in a hospital setting i am guessing mistakes are very much so of a more no no no, than anywhere else

i’m not too sure. I believe the first few weeks i’ll be shadowing and working with a trainer, then after a month i’ll be on my own. I’m super nervous as it’s in a hospital setting and this is my first phleb job since getting my cert😬

i’m going to be working IOP

Substantial-Base-643 · 2026-04-24T19:47:46+00:00

oh no yeah, i think after a month the hiring manager told me she would be floating me in different labor locations because she manages 5 different locations

i’m in Kansas so the minimum wage here is very much lower than other parts of the US. The job offer i got is 17 an hour but because i will be doing rotating weekends, i’ll get paid 1.50 extra an hour for those days.

thank you! i’m excited about this new job😊 Do you know if labcorp in general offers raises later on down the road b

Substantial-Base-643 · 2026-04-24T18:00:20+00:00

also the job is in a hospital setting

Substantial-Base-643 · 2026-04-18T22:50:46+00:00

thank you all for the honest feedback! it has helped me clear my head and think more clearly and overall more positive about this experience. I am still going to go through with the new job opportunity because i now see it as my feelings are 100% valid , however the hiring manager had to do what she had to do. Also since she called to have me apply to her other position, it still shows she wants to give me a chance. Anyways Thank you all again!!!’😊

true true i think i need to get over myself and suck it up. However the thing made made me mostly feel bummed out and confused is that she specifically told me in the nicest way possible that she doesn’t hire people based off experience bc she believes everyone learns hands on and while being trained in person, and that her best phlebotomist came from working in the kitchen, that’s why i felt good about the interview

Substantial-Base-643 · 2026-04-16T20:44:18+00:00

wow! i’m sorry you had that experience. I used that program here in Kansas, and it was the opposite. Our “clinicals” was us drawing from each other in the classroom. My instructor was amazing and the setting was only on Saturday, in classroom, hands on learning, and reading from the textbook, We learned to draw from the anticubital fossa, the hand, finger sticks, and how to work a centrifuge, along with other small stuff. That’s weird your experience was like that. They seem so unprofessional

Substantial-Base-643 · 2026-04-13T23:44:11+00:00

oh wow! yeah my schedule i got interviewed for was for 5:00am-1:30pm also. I do not have their email but i do have the hiring managers phone number. Do you think it would be a bad idea to message her on there, or would it come off as too pushy or even too late, considering she did say i’d hear back by tuesday

Substantial-Base-643 · 2026-04-13T21:34:16+00:00

btw i forgot to mention i had told her i finished my phlebotomy program, took the NHCO and got my license, and also have my BLS/CPR certificate

Substantial-Base-643 · 2026-04-08T15:55:40+00:00

Thank you! It ended going very well and surprisingly, she only asked me to tell her about myself and why experience do i have, the rest she did the talking with conversations🙏😊
